We recently visited Hawaii where we saw a mongoose running around the country side. Actually we saw bunches and bunches of them, which leads to my question: What is the plural of mongoose? mongooses? mongeese? mongoose?

Hey, how come Nan's first post (Hi Nan) said 2 posts and then she posted again and it still said 2 posts. I don't really expect an answer but I'm tired and that is as deep as my thinking goes at the moment. Maybe I should go to bed instead of AWADing

I think Nan made two posts total. The topic opener was the first and the second post was the second. Is the counting system gives the total of your posts. So when she did her (/his-who knows?) first post it said 1. After the second it said 2. I understand the confusion. I have these wonderfully intelligent moments too.s m i l e
